Eschar Heart

[Verse 1] You move like smoke through my ribs again No contact, still under my skin I don’t hear you, but something bends Like a nerve that never learned to end There’s a signal caught in the quiet space Misfire echo I can’t erase You don’t answer, but I still feel Every absence like it’s real [Pre-Chorus] I hold still just to trace the spark Something burning without a mark You don’t reach, but it still goes through Like my body remembers you [Chorus] You left a shape I still respond to Like pressure where there’s nothing there I keep reaching into a ghost of you But you were never really there You let me burn in your silence Lit me up just to disappear Now the fire won’t go quiet And you don’t even feel it here [Verse 2] There’s a fracture under my control Every thought wired through your ghost You go distant, I overload Like a system that can’t let go I don’t call you, I let it sit But it tightens inside my chest Like a pulse I can’t override Every time that I let it rest [Pre-Chorus] I go still just to feel it move Like the heat when it passes through You don’t touch, but it still comes back Like a scar that I never had [Chorus] You left a shape I still respond to Like pressure where there’s nothing there I keep reaching into a ghost of you But you were never really there You let me burn in your silence Lit me up just to disappear Now the fire won’t go quiet And you don’t even feel it here [Bridge] Say it was nothing Say I imagined the flame But something inside me changed I don’t forget what my body learned Even if you never turned [Outro] Still feel you where you’re not Still reach when you’re gone Something in me holds the signal on You don’t answer You don’t move But my system still runs on you
